Resident Evil 2 remake needs fan support says Capcom

For the first time in years Capcom has acknowledged the possibility of a HD remake of Resident Evil 2, although the publisher has insisted it’s not currently working on anything.

Resident Evil 2 – ‘Let’s split up, look for any survivors and get out of here’.

Resident Evil 6 producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi has said that if enough fans demand it then Capcom may consider a remake of PS one classic Resident Evil 2.‘Just to lay all the cards on the table, that way there’s no rumour-mongering or things like that, no, we are not working on a Resident Evil 2 remake as of now,’ said Hirabayashi to website GameSpot .

‘But if the fans really clamour for it; if there’s a groundswell of support for remaking that game, then I think that’s something Capcom would take under consideration.’Released in 1998, after an earlier version of the game was half-completed and then completely scrapped, Resident Evil 2 (Biohazard 2 in Japan) introduced the characters of Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, Ada Wong, and Sherry Birkin. All but Claire are already confirmed for the imminent Resident Evil 6.Any remake would instantly be compared to the 2002 GameCube version of the first Resident Evil, which re-envisioned the original game with completely new graphics and a significant amount of new content.The Resident Evil remake is not only considered one of the best games in the series but also one of the best remakes of any kind, so no pressure on Capcom for getting it right a second time. We’re sure a petition is already up and running though, so if Resident Evil 2 doesn’t return it may be the fans’ fault and not Capcom’s…
